The Making of CHOW Candy Bars
Here are some of the details behind the recipe development process that brought nougat, chocolate, nuts, and caramel together. The delicious results? Our candy bars: Twixt, Snickles, Almond Jay, and Peanut Butta Cups.
sounds awesome as hell i love it now your talking something good and sweet
These look truly delicious. I've never thought about making candy bars myself, but I will now. I love the rollover cross-section comparisons between the factory made candy and the hand-made one.
I have a feeling I am in a whole world of trouble!
my kids just seen these(all teenagers) and say we gotta make them .Like it will be them doing any of it except the eating of course
NOM!
is it just me, or is this article emitting the scent of déjà vu?
In the Halloween candy department, I just wrote 'Giant Sewer Rats, Severed Chocolate Fingers: Halloween Candy Collection at Hope and Greenwood, London' on 'Serge the Concierge'

I THINK THAT THIS I A COOL AND I THINK THAT IF I HAD THE CHOICE I WOULD DO ALL OF THEM.
I'll have to try these!
I have been making my own home-made version of the classic CHUNKY bar for years.
Many years ago, the CHUNKY was made with a good dose of cashews and raisins. Probably around the time Nestle acquired the brand they changed it considerably...the chocolate itself seemed marginally improved, but gone were the cashews, substituted by a stingy hint of crushed peanuts... and even the raisins were cut back considerably. With the CHUNKY being a shadow of its former self, the only solution was to make them the way I remembered loving them. They are always a big hit.
This seems like a good idea, but speaking from experience in caramel making... all of the caramel in these pictures is waaay underdone. I learned the hard way that if you get scared and pull your sugar off the stove too soon you are left with a bland, pale caramel.
Professor, could you share your recipe/directions for Chunkies? I've only ever had the current version (just once or twice) and remember thinking it could be so much better - your version sounds like the answer!
